this recipe is inspired by one posted on 101 cookbooks. i have made some modifications and added some eggs to make them more binding (better for small hands walking around). i was looking for a healthy, yet appealing way to get la to eat something other than ground chicken, cheese, and crackers. these are amazing cookies for not having any butter or sugar. i have received nothing but compliments on them.
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- scant 1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2/3 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup real maple syrup, room temperature
- 1/2 cup unrefined (fragrant) coconut oil, warmed until just melted
- 1/2 cup dried apricots sliced
- 1-2 eggs
Preheat oven to 375F degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and oats. Add the remaining dry ingredients. In a separate smaller bowl use a whisk to combine the maple syrup, coconut oil, eggs, and finally the apricots. Add this to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
Drop onto prepared baking sheets, one level tablespoonful at a time, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake in the top 1/3 of the oven for 10 - 12 minutes or until the cookies are golden on top and bottom.
Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
